What Unholy Tacticool Mall Ninja Edgelord Trash is This?!

  • I can see why this is called "the Sharknado of superhero movies"... The cringe level is over 9000. xD
    If you want to create a super edgy, badass ninja character... believe it or not, there comes a point where it gets too tryhard and silly to be actually cool.
    The weapon design is some hilariously impractical tacticool fantasy wallhanger junk. Even otherwordly super materials and powers aren't going to save it. It's a lost cause... except for entertainment value (in the unintentionally comical way).
    I'm late to the party, considering The Guardians came out in 2017, but I just randomly stumbled upon this scene, and it had too much juice rant material to pass up for a reaction video. With a few educational points about weapons sprinkled in, of course.

    This is a re-upload because the video got demonetized for "profanity" before... Want to know what was considered profane? Saying that this movie scene "molested my eyeballs". xD
    So I edited that part out, and hopefully it's not longer deemed too offensive for advertisers or whatever.

      @Luis Suazo what kind of waves? Air waves wouldn't do that. That's more of an anime thing. Wind erosion in driven in large part by dust and silica, and even water cutters have an abrasive media like garnet sand to do the actual cutting. The water is more of a guide. What we are really talking about here is a sort of air gun.
      Let's say he's a ninja and he throws some diamond or garnet sand into the air and swings his weapons to create air waves to slice instead of his weapons. First, the blades could not have a conventional cross section with a sharp edge, but instead have a concave channel at the edge like ice skates to trap the air and direct its momentum, with a taper towards the end of the track to maximize pressure like a nozzle. His weapons' extreme curvature would be like a gun with the barrel bend back towards you. Your projectile (air + dust) would lose its momentum halfway through acceleration. For an anime style air wave, you would want the slight curve in the opposite direction with some straight length, and for an air spear you would want something like a cesta for jai alai that could direct your air and sand in a precise vector.
      Even after all of that, most industrial water cutters move slowly from the edge of a precut hole, and the nozzle is very close to the material. That's because the water slows down fast and spreads out (air even moreso). At any appreciable distance, it would just pepper the target with sand.
      MAYBE he could have air running down a straight edge, with cutting media going into the channel from the hilt to make a sort of speedster powered, super sand blaster that cuts like a sword, but this would be very thin and not scythe shaped.
      Suspension of disbelief is fine, but no it's not a logical characteristic of his weapons.
      Edit: last thought. Using material like the sand in the desert requires kicking it up, which could obscured his vision and make dodging bullets impossible. As soon as he kicks up a sandstorm, a substantial wall of lead would be like a vertical, kinetic minefield that would keep him from closing the gap between them.

Kind of when you're chopping up wood, and the cut goes a lot deeper than the point where the axehead gets caught due to its thickness.

    I watched this movie for a bad movie night and while it's nowhere near the worst movie I've seen (not even top 50), it is basically _Trope: the Movie._ Name an action/superhero movie trope and it's there. It's so dense with them that if you took a shot every time you spotted one, you'd be dead in minutes. If you tried to call out each one you saw, you might not even be able to articulate which trope you just spotted before another one occurred. I'd put it on par with _The Scorpion King,_ _Gods of Egypt,_ and _Battlefield Earth_ for quality, both as a "so bad it's good" movie and as a movie in general.

    watched some rus cinema the recent years regarding historic period dramas to see what they are up to and later got this recommended by prime. I think there are like 2 kinds of film-schools in eastern europe in general.
    One is statefunded and you can expect propaganda (like you always have with public funded period pieces regardless of their origin country). They are more tame and follow their sources and are more likely to make honest adaptions of books or historic events just with modern filming techniques and actors. So you wont see mad max leather vikings in that regard.
    The other One is funded by oligarchs to tax evade and the filmmakers are some spoiled brats oligarchs son that lived too long in the west trying to copycat western movie but fail to understand or connect the dots and you end up with some cringefest that is neither russian nor western.

    They have a lot of weapons too - some strange-looking swords here and there. Maybe you'll find it interesting to check on some of them or all of them. I bet you can poke fun at how their armors look like too!
